In lieu of the recent Aurora Shooting, I thought this subject might be in a few people's minds. It certainly popped up in mine.

Let's lay the ground work.

Gun control-efforts to regulate or control sales of guns

And a few questions to spark some discussion:

Are you for or against gun control?

What are the pro and cons of gun control?

Would stricter gun control laws nationwide help or hurt a country?

What is the connection between gun control and criminal activity?

Is criminal activity lowered by stricter gun control?

If not, what would help resolve US criminal activity problems?

Would stricter gun control laws in CO have stopped the attack?

I certainly have an opinion on the subject and each of these questions, but I'll keep it for when the discussion takes off.
You know the deal, be civil and be smart; and make sure your points are made very plain.
